How to style the option of an html “select” element?

Answer 1

This element is rendered by the OS, not HTML. It cannot be styled via CSS.

	$(function() {
    var clicky;
    var t=0;
    $(document).mousedown(function(e) {
        clicky = $(e.target);
    });
    $(document).mouseup(function(e) {
        clicky = null;
    });

    $("select").focusout(function(e) {
        if (typeof clicky.attr('id') !== typeof undefined && clicky.attr('id') !== false) {
        	$(this).parents().children("span.selected").html(clicky.html());
        	$(this).children('option[value="'+clicky.attr('id')+'"]').prop('selected', true);
		}
        
        $(this).parents().children("span.lists").html('');
        

    });
    $('select > option').text(function(i, text) {
				var attr = $(this).attr('selected');
				if (typeof attr !== typeof undefined && attr !== false) {
        				$(this).parents().parents().children("span.selected").html(text);
				}
	});

		$("select").focusin(function(){
			$(this).children('option').text(function(i, text) {
    			$(this).parents().children("span.lists").append(""+text+"");
				});
		});

	});

select {
  width: 0px;
  height: 0px;
  overflow:hidden;
  outline: none;
  border: none;
  appearance:none;
  -moz-appearance: none;

}
label{
	display: inline-block;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	position: relative;
	width: 100px;
	height: 20px;
	background-color:#ccc;

}
label .selected{
	display: inline-block;
	overflow: hidden;
	width: 100%;
	height: 100%;
}
label span.lists{
	width: 100%;
	display: inline-block;
	position: absolute;
	top: 100%;
	left: 0px;
	box-shadow: 0px 0px 2px 0px #ccc;
	background-color:#fff;
	z-index: 9;
}
label span.item{
	display: inline-block;
